Pitve, Mountain settlement in Split-Dalmatia County, Croatia.
The village sits 168 meters above sea level and consists of two sections: Gornje Pitve in the upper area and Donje Pitve below.
The settlement traces its origins to ancient Illyrian tribes who established Gornje Pitve before the Greek arrival in 384 BC, while Donje Pitve emerged during the 15th century.
The Church of Saint James, positioned between the two village sections, hosts the traditional Za Križen procession during Holy Thursday each year.
Visitors can access the settlement through road networks connecting to Jelsa, where accommodations and restaurants serving regional Croatian dishes are available.
Between the upper and lower sections stands a restored stone building, formerly the village school, which served as a wine cooperative and historical exhibition space.
